Traditional Treatment Method for Polycystic Kidney Disease

To be honest, there are not many effective treatments for Polycystic Kidney Disease traditionally and the most common treatment method is medication for blood pressure or infection, or even some surgery to remove the cysts. Most of Polycystic Kidney Disease patients have used such methods to treat their polycystic kidney disease.
Normally, high blood pressure is considered as the first symptom of polycystic kidney disease, resulting from cysts enlargement. High blood pressure can also worsen kidney condition aggravation and kidney function decline, so effective medicines on high blood pressure is necessary for polycystic kidney disease patients. Traditionally, ACEI or CCB medicine is always suggested by doctors.
However, only medication for related symptoms can not stop the enlargement of cysts. Instead, under the action of gene problem, cysts keep enlarging continuously. When cysts enlarge to a certain degree, they will be full of whole abdomen, also affecting other organs. Under such condition, only medication is not enough. Therefore, surgery or operation will be suggested by doctors with the purpose of making cysts smaller. Cyst Decortication or Tapping and Hardening is commonly suggested to polycystic kidney disease patients to deal with the cysts.
The above treatment is always taken when the disease is still in a relative early stage. With the cysts enlarge continuously, kidney function also declines at the same time and finally it will get into end stage or renal failure stage. During this period, dialysis is needed to maintain a normal life for polycystic kidney disease patients, and when both kidneys are damaged totally, kidney transplant is necessary for polycystic kidney disease patients. Dialysis is used to take the place of kidneys so that toxin or metabolic waste can be discharged out of body even though kidneys can not work normally. In this way, patients can feel little better after each time of dialysis.
